Dank looks like he's skating in quick sand in today's game versus Latvia. No shot, no speed, no nothing.

The whole team is a bit stumped. We had built our two top lines around Henrik Sedin and Henrik Zetterberg, and now they are both injured. Thus the lines are being improvised, and haven't really gelled yet.

Thankfully we still have one Henrik left, in the crease. He's doing his part, and then Erik Karlsson and Daniel Alfredsson make sure we score enough goals to win the games.

Btw, right at the end, it looked like Bäckström, Johansson and Daniel were beginning to start finding eachother, and it was a real nice play leading to Daniel's assist on Edler's goal. So I still have my hopes up!

Speaking of Edler, how has he looked? Any chance he brings some confidence back to North America with him?

Well, since he was suspended for the first two games, he's only played one so far. I thought he looked OK. Scored a goal even. Too early to tell though imho.

Since Sweden was the only team to win all three games in regulation, we're the top seed, which means that a) we get a bye to the quarter final, and b) in that quarter final we will face the winners of the Austria vs Slovenia matchup!
